Claudio’s relationship with Hero is immature because Claudio only loved Hero for her beauty. When Claudio arrived at Leonato’s home, he quickly fell in love with her without even meeting her. He told Benedick about his feeling towards Hero, hoping that she is as sweet as he imagined her to be. In the text it says, “In mine eye she is the sweetest lady that I ever looked on. I would scarce trust myself, though I had sworn the contrary, if Hero would be my wife.” (Shakespeare, 16) This quote shows how deeply Claudio is in love with Hero without knowing anything about her, or even making an encounter with her. This also shows how easy it is for Claudio be
Through a hero’s journey, the ideals and character traits that help them achieve success ultimately grow stronger as they have increasing faith in these values. Within Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is dramatically impacted by his failure to win Rosaline’s heart. However, meeting Juliet is a major success for him as he regains his confidence and is more faithful in his thoughts and beliefs. Throughout the play, it is known that Romeo has strong feelings regarding love. Because he has had success in these area with Juliet, he is more confident and is more likely to show his affection.
The audience may understand the concept of love and romance flowing within the characters because it was to portrayed that way but the critics would argue the fact that some of the characters like Beatrice and Benedick were made to fall in love with each other through deception. As simple as the characters were, the situations arousing in the play became more complexed as scenes passed by. What led to the trouble and chaos in the play also led to the solution in the end, when Claudio and Don Pedro were deceived into thinking by Don John that Hero was unfaithful. That very same idea also solved the problem in the end when Leonato, Hero’s father, deceived Claudio by making him believe that she is dead and that it is his duty to clear Hero’s name by reading out on her tomb and marrying the said niece who looks just like Hero. Again the plotting against own is present where the said niece turns out to be Hero and she comes back to life again.
Claudio, Hero and Don Pedro all realize how perfect Beatrice and Benedick are together and so they set up a plan to deceive the two of them into falling in love. Don Pedro comes up with the plan to be having Benedick eavesdropping on Don Pedro, Leonato and Claudio chatting about how much Beatrice is secretly in love with Benedick. Just as they expected , their plan goes off without a hitch. After the group is done talking and they all leave, Benedick comes out of hiding and start talking about what he just heard and realizes that he is in love with Beatrice. “I will be horribly in love wit her.”
Hero had chosen to accept Claudio’s proposal and claimed to have fallen in love with
Love comes unexpectedly to the most unexpected people. The beauty of it is when love surprises you. It comes to the least likely people to be together. One example is Beatrice and Benedick relationship in “Much Ado About Nothing” by William Shakespeare. Their relationship is interesting in the sense of chaos and love.
Another part of the play in which deception takes place is through the actions of Leonato after Hero is shamed. It is here that Leonato deceives everyone but the people remaining at the crashed wedding by telling them that Hero has died of grief. When looking into the intent behind this deception, revenge becomes present. By making Claudio believe that he was the cause of Hero’s death Leonato is able to manipulate Claudio to do whatever he requested. By stating “I know not how to pray your patience; Yet I must speak.
She knows the heat of a luxurious bed. Her blush is guiltiness, not modesty,” (Shakespeare Act 4 Scene 1). This shows things aren’t always as they seem because Claudio is blaming Hero for doing this and Hero knows absolutely nothing about it and is devastated crying like crazy and eventually faints because of what Claudio is doing. Leonato believes Claudio and starts to hit Hero and throw her around when it really never
Claudio is easily the most gullible character. In the novel, he works with Don Pedro to woo Hero; however, once Don John purposely messes with Claudio’s view on the situation, he is quick to change his mind. Claudio believes Don Pedro is trying to woo Hero for himself, and states, “‘Tis certain so, the Prince woos for himself. Friendship is constant in all other things save in the office and affairs of love. Therefore, all hearts in love use their own tongues.
“The Hero’s Journey” is term for a narrative style that was identified by scholar Joseph Campbell. The narrative pattern would depict a character’s heroic journey, and categorize the character’s experiences into three large sections: departure, which contained the hero’s call to adventure, fulfillment, which consisted of the hero’s initiation, trials, and transformation, and finally the return. The novel The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan investigates the relationship and actions of four Chinese women and their daughters. The character Lindo Jong’s youth in China exemplifies the three part heroic journey in how she leaves the familiar aspects in her life, faces trials in the home of her betrothed, ..... Departure:
We were all taught that purity is the one thing you should treasure most, but it could be more harm than good. In Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, Claudio is the naive boy who falls desperately in love with Hero, and his virtue is posed as his best quality. I believe that Claudio is tragically flawed, and his innocence is what will cause his downfall.
Final Analysis of Much Ado About Nothing In the film Much Ado About Nothing, which is one of Shakespeare’s comical plays, it talks about the complications within the lives of the characters and their road to achieving happiness. These complications arise within the relationships of Hero and Claudio, who fell in love at first sight and Beatrice and Benedick, the lovers that despise each other but fall in love in the last act. The fact that Claudio’s and Hero’s relationship is based on each other’s appearance is proven when Claudio said to Don Pedro “O, my lord, When you went onward on this ended action, I looked upon her with a soldier’s eye, That liked but had a rougher task in hand, than to drive liking to the name of love”. Considering this, Claudio and Hero relationship ends happily in the play, but I think later on there will be complications because they only like each other based on looks and nothing else.
Shakespeare reveals the theme that people deceive others out of love, embarrassment, and hatred. All evidence comes from Much Ado About Nothing. Love makes people act less rationally than they would normally behave. In this case, Claudio has fallen in love with Leonato’s daughter, Hero. In this love-dazed state, Claudio seems thoroughly confused at Don Pedro’s plan to win Hero over on his behalf, due to being lied to about the actual plan by Don John.
we see that Claudio intended to marry Hero because of her honorable dignity and beauty but when He realizes that she not as 'honorable' as he imagined of her , he is disillusioned ; "you seem to me as Dian in her orb as chaste as is the bud ere it be blown. Yet you have more wild sensuality in your blood than Venus, on those pam'pered creatures that rage in savage sensuality", "The symbol and semblance of her glory".
Don Pedro first agrees to help Claudio win over Hero’s heart when Claudio reveals his love for Hero in front of Benedick and Don Pedro, “That I love her, I feel” (Act 1 Scene 1 pg. 19). As a result, Don Pedro tells Claudio that during the ball he will disguise himself, “I will assume thy part in some disguise and tell fair Hero I am Claudio, and in her bosom I’ll unclasp my heart and take her hearing prisoner with the force and strong encounter of my amorous tale. Then after to her father will I break, and the conclusion is, she shall be thine” ( Act 1 Scene 1 pg. 25). This passage in the play shows that Don Pedro is
’’A quote by shakespeare and this is demonstrated through the whole play. Through ‘Romeo and Juliet’ Shakespeare prostrates Romeo's character as a Petrarchan lover although it does not stay that way. Romeo admits that Rosaline does not feel the same way about him as he states that this love he feels does not feel love back. This presents Romeo to us as a man of responsibility
